Love Isn't Love
The Aggrolites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until you give it away
And what you give
Is what you get
So find someone today
Lost time will never
Never be found
'cause now you're around
What's learned from the crib now babe
Will last to the grave
I learned that one man's loss
Is another man's gain
When I found you
Oh yes it's true
You're the one that I adore nah
alright
And there ain't no remedy for lovin'
But only to love you more
Love isn't love hah
Until you give it away
And what you give
Is what you get
So find someone today
Decisions made by night
May be changed by the day
But my mind's made up
Because I gave my love away
They say that time may change things
But the change depends on you
I'll keep you love forever
We'll know just what to do
Because everything must have a beginning
And you started my romance.
And when that music changed inside my life forever
So did the dance
I love you so
Love isn't love hah
Until you give it away
And what you give
Is what you get
So find someone today
Love isn't love hah
Until you give it away
And what you give
Is what you get
So find someone today
Find someone today
The Aggrolites's song Love Isn't Love speaks to the notion that love is not a singular experience but rather something that is constantly being given and received. The unconventional spellings and phrasing in the lyrics add to the song's lively and upbeat tone, while the message remains poignant and hopeful.
The chorus emphasizes that love is not something that can be hoarded or kept, but something that must be given in order to be received, and encourages listeners to seek out someone to love today. The verse about lost time being irreparable contrasts with the idea that finding love can make everything feel worthwhile and meaningful.
The lines "Decisions made by night may be changed by the day, but my mind's made up because I gave my love away" speak to the difficulty of making choices when it comes to relationships, but ultimately recognizing that giving love is a risk worth taking. The final verse reinforces the idea that love is what gives meaning to life, and that finding someone to love is the key to a happy and fulfilled existence.
Overall, Love Isn't Love is a catchy and energetic song that celebrates the transformative power of love and encourages listeners to prioritize their connections with others.
Line by Line Meaning
Love isn't love hah
Love doesn't truly exist until it's shared with another person
Until you give it away
Love becomes real only when you give it to someone else
And what you give
The amount of love you give to someone
Is what you get
Is what you receive back in return
So find someone today
To experience love, you need to start by finding someone to share it with
Lost time will never
Time cannot be regained once it's lost
Never be found
Oh but I know what love is
Having found someone to love, I've come to understand the true meaning of love
'cause now you're around
You've given me a reason to believe in love and everything that comes with it
What's learned from the crib now babe
The lessons we learn about love from a young age will stay with us through our entire lives
Will last to the grave
These lessons will remain with us even after we die
I learned that one man's loss
I understand that sometimes, one person's loss can be another's gain
Is another man's gain
Someone else may benefit from someone else's loss
When I found you
When I met you
Oh yes it's true
It's absolutely true
You're the one that I adore nah
I love and cherish you more than anyone else
alright
And there ain't no remedy for lovin'
There's no cure for love and the feelings it brings
But only to love you more
The only thing I can do is love you even more
Decisions made by night
The choices we make at night
May be changed by the day
Can be changed as the day goes on
But my mind's made up
I've made a decision
Because I gave my love away
Because I've already given my love to someone
They say that time may change things
People say that time can change things
But the change depends on you
How things change depends on the actions you take
I'll keep you love forever
I'll love you for eternity
We'll know just what to do
We'll figure out how to make our love last
Because everything must have a beginning
Every story has a starting point
And you started my romance.
You were the reason I fell in love
And when that music changed inside my life forever
The moment when my life changed forever
So did the dance
My entire world changed at that moment
I love you so
I love you very much
Find someone today
Once again, the importance of finding someone to share love with
